Wife and I took a long walk up on our property today. Have to admit I have not been up in our woods for quite sometime. it was good to get out and get "away" ...if just for a while. Weather and temp was just about perfect for our uphill ascent . We probably spent two hours up there and after sitting on the edge of moss laden ravines, watching water flow through the gullies and seeing nature in it's finest...we both declared how lucky we both are. Nature knows not much of whats going on with the world nowadays. And neither does the bear that has it's home 1000 ft from our backyard. Probably explains why we had muddy bear tracks in the driveway last fall. Here... three massive piles of shit from this morning and den in the back round. Will be getting and setting up a video cam shortly for some hopefully spectacular footage.
Beavers & Bears !!! I miss Quebec already
HAPPY Easter to ALL !!!!!!
Any video?

Correspondence from the FCMQ
PRESS RELEASE
News from your federation : The Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec welcomes the 2020-2021 season with enthusiasm
Terrebonne, October 1st, 2020 - The Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec (FCMQ) is proud to announce the beginning of its 100% online trail permit sale for a second consecutive year. The goal of this procedure is still to lighten the club volunteers work load and to make the purchase of trail permits faster and more convenient for members. Through this system, volunteers can thus devote the maximum of their time to trail maintenance, a colossal task for volunteers. In addition, online purchases allow snowmobilers to purchase their trail permit seven (7) days a week, 24 hours a day without having to leave home. Snowmobilers can therefore immediately acquire their trail permit with a $1,000,000 civil liability insurance from Intact Insurance, the official insurer of the FCMQ*.
The current health crisis has forced the FCMQ board of directors to overlook its operations in order to face these unprecedented times. Several establishments and in-trail procedures managed by club volunteers will be overlooked in order to respect Public Health guidelines. Information provided by the government of Quebec, stipulates that we will not be faced with a second COVID-19 related provincial closure, leading the board of directors to see the upcoming season with much enthusiasm, placing aside any potential plan. In the event of regional closures, please be assured that snowmobile member contributions will be used for trail network improvement and maintenance during this time.
A new feature has been implemented this year!
In order to satisfy our customers, we wish to provide a certain latitude when purchasing a daily trail permit. As you know, unforeseen events can compromise your riding date.
The FCMQ has revised its procedures concerning the sale of your daily trail permit.
Therefore, you have up to 72 hours prior to your riding date to make a change. Details at fcmq.qc.caContest - Your best winter purchase
The FCMQ has set up a contest to promote the annual trail permit and to thank the snowmobilers who make their purchases during the pre-sale period from October 15 to November 15, 2020. The participants must go to the Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec website (www.fcmq.qc.ca) and purchase an annual trail permit or an antique annual trail permit in order to be automatically entered in the contest. Participants have a chance to win one of four (4) prepaid VISA cards, valued at $1000.00 CDN each. Details at fcmq.qc.ca
The FCMQ interactive trail map
The 2020-2021 interactive trail map is online. We invite you to consult this user-friendly map, and to test the distance calculation tool.
Happy browsing!
The interactive trail map is well supported by Chrome and Edge web browsers. It is always recommended to use the latest versions. Internet Explorer is no longer supported.
Please note, for this season, there will be no printing of the trail map, nor of the services guide. We recommend you consult the web version of the trail map or you may also purchase our iMotoneige application to obtain all of the required information needed for planning your trips.
Thank you for understanding this temporary service interruption.
Online Customer Service
In constant evolution, the FCMQ's website now has a new Online support section to improve the Frequently Asked Questions, also making your research much easier. All of the information needed at your fingertips.
This section will allow you to target specific subjects’ categories, thus facilitating your research. If you don't find the information you are looking for, you may also communicate directly with the FCMQ's customer service department via an interactive form system. Simple, fast and efficient!

Awesome. That journey made for a long day. I trust you enjoyed yourselves. as everyone in the photo is beaming.
Those are our local trails as we have a camp in Pittsburg. I refer to the north country or the official name, Great North Woods as God's country.
Regretfully, we stand to lose access to the many trails in Pittsburg, due to the few prohibitions being consistently violated. The locals, the same property owners that graciously afford us the right to access their property are up in arms. IMO social media has not been good to the community/sport as it relates to Pittsburg. What was the best-kept secret a few years back is no longer.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Bureau met with several landowners in Pittsburg earlier this week to discuss whether they close the trails on their property or keep them open for OHRV use.This issue is from the minority of riders (the 5%) that choose to ignore posted trail signs and ride where they are not welcomed to do so.When the Bureau, or local club, posts a 10 MPH sign or SLOW sign there is a reason for it. Slower speeds reduce dust, noise and general concerns from landowners. This summer has seen a dramatic increase in outdoor use and a lot of new people to the OHRV sport. This is good, but those new users need to understand that the trail system in NH is based primarily on the use of private lands for public recereation trail existence. This use is a delicate balance and it ALWAYS is based on the landowner being happy with the users.This upcoming holiday weekend is a key factor in the future of trails in the Pittsburg area. Slow down, pay attention to signs, and ride responsibly and reasonably. All playgrounds have rules; follow them.

GT Rider,
Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Our past rides out to Meat Cove were quite enjoyable. The two things that come to mind when I think of Meat Cove is the beautiful scenery to & from but the sketchy neighborhood you pass through, so out of the norm for its surroundings. The second memory is when we were there last, within hours of our visit we read the following day of a woman accidentally riding her MC off the cliff. Fortunately, I believe it ended well for her.

Road King Classic, great bike, old school. I think HD quit making them? See ya soon.
Joe, you are correct. That is an '07 Road King Classic & yes HD is no longer is producing them for the American market. She is a great machine & to this day I very much enjoy taking her out. The '17 Ultra Glide Limited is also sweet & far more comfortable as it has the batwing fairing, couch-like seat, and a stereo system like no other in comparison to the RK but the '07 get all the compliments. I know I am exaggerating but it seems like every other bike we pass is near identical to our red-colored '17 UGL. Having said that I'm not complaining. Any day out on either of the bikes is a great day.
Talk soon.

Drove the Cabot Trail this weekend in Nova Scotia. Hiked the Skyline Trail, into a few waterfalls, to Meat Cove, and a few other neat spots. Spent Saturday night in Baddeck, a nice spot too.
After reading your post I couldn't resist looking back @ a few journies we have made to N.S. & PEI. In fact, if we were not being dictated too it is highly likely we would be visiting shortly if we hadn't already ventured up. Apologizing in advance for the # of photos.

Wonderful photos. As always, THANK YOU ! What's with the abandoned snowmobile?

I didn't want to hi-jack Playhard & JG's posts in the Matapedia Valley forum, so I chose to drop these videos here of the Blue Angels. Ginny & I took the videos from on top of the Kensico Dam in Valhalla, NY, a short ride from Playhards NY compound.
The hyperlink is a commercial link that contains video footage from within the cockpit.

Hi JG , maybe grooming part time?🤔🤔❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️
I have not been on in a few days, but when this one-liner - teaser appeared in my inbox, it piqued my interest enough to sign on & scroll up & down to see what warranted the post. Regretfully I came across Groomer's response where Groomer replied in sum & substance he was too stubborn. Wishing the powers to be at the club will make some sacrifices in the future & entertain Groomer's concerns & if so, maybe Groomer will give careful thought to the offer, if any, to return. In the interim, I am delighted to read Groomer is enjoying life.
Going forward, best to each of you during these trying times. Stay safe all.

In past years we have happily patronized Spence. It was my first time at IMPERIUM Ski-Doo.
Co-owner Natacha Spence recently reached out to me. In sum & substance, Natacha apologized for what occurred and in part blamed it on staff having obligations after hours a claim to which I have much respect for had after hours come into play. It was clear to me Rob who speaks English well was more than willing & ready to assist before the boss interjected. I am confident the swap would have been completed in comparison to the time it took Rob to interpret on my behalf with his boss.
It is water under the bridge now. I'm satisfied someone of authority at Spence is informed of the incident. The awareness may assist someone else in the future.
Happy trails. Keep right. The end : )

JG,
From a selfish side that I'd like to think I do not have this a sad day for all of us who you brought great smiles too daily. We can only hope the boss approaches you with an offer in hand, no promises, that you can not refuse & is satisfactory to your liking. However, I firmly believe you must take care of yourself first and no matter how good the offer is if it is affecting your well being then I support your decision to call it quits.
I am often asked when I am going to pull the pin as I have been doing what I do best for a fairly long time, with great satisfaction not only for myself but for others. In return, I respond by repeating what was told to me for many years with persons who have more time then I, "I will know when the time has come". If it is no longer enjoyable you know it best when its time to call it quits. So this evening Ginny & I will raise a glass of rouge at dinner in your honor, thanking you for what you did for the sport, the recognition you brought to the Gaspesie region, wishing you good health in the days coming and hoping the boss comes to you with an offer in hand, and with a clear mind focusing on what is best for JG you give careful consideration to the offer.
Thank you,
Ginny & Paddy O

Roland Spence & fils Ski-Doo dealership, Jonquière -Thursday, February 12, 2020, @ 445pm 15 minutes before closing I roll in by sled with a frozen shield on my BVS2. The salesperson named Rob is all too happy to assist with my purchase & agrees to swap out the old shield with a new one as he said no problem, it will only take ten minutes. I feel a sigh of relief & suspect the Canadian hospitality I have experienced year after year has once again come through. As Rob prepares to assist, a person Rob identified as his boss interrupts. Rob & he speak in French. Rob turns to me and apologizes. Rob explains his boss will not allow him to swap the shield. Rob said the boss suggested I return Monday as the woman who normally swaps out the shields will be working. I ask Rob to ask his boss to reconsider as I am on a saddlebag trip & the following day forecast was forecasted to be -15F. I add that this is not my first visit as I have made several purchases for many consecutive years from Roland Spence & fils. Rob speaks with his boss and Rob says his boss says no. I contemplate strapping the shield to my bag, returning to the hotel and replacing the shield with sufficient lighting & out of the poor weather but I know through experience the shields are fragile so I chose not too. Subsequently, I leave with a non-functioning shield, a forty-mile round trip journey from Centre de Congres & Hotel La Sagueneenne and no progress.
The following morning myself & three colleagues travel from the hotel by taxi to IMPERIUM Ski-Doo located in Chicoutimi. Thankfully the sales team could not have been more helpful - true Canadian hospitality. Minutes later the four of us depart after happily dropping $1000+CAD on an assortment of clothing & accessories all of which are currently marked down 25%. Most importantly, my helmet was fixed. Kudos to the staff @ IMPERIUM Ski-Doo. I am very grateful to each of you that assisted the four of us. I will return.
As for the sales staff @ Roland Spence & fils, I'm sorry you have a boss as inconsiderate & uncompassionate as he was. Rob was a professional. Rob's boss, not so much.
If the owner and or a person of authority from Roland Spence & fils wants to reach out to me please do so.
Thank you.

It was the first time we did a day trip from the DoubleTree Hilton, Quebec. The trail conditions were awesome in some areas & rough & tough in others. Delightful lunch at Hotel Roquemont & delicious dinner at the Archibald micro brasserie. In addition, it was a very warm day 30F + ~ .

JG, I pay attention to your photos. I assume image #6 reflects a Gaspese woman praying to the snow gods : ) & that a piston bully is coming your way shortly. Also image # 2 reflects she is a bit messy. Please ask her to pick up behind herself before she exits the clubhouse.
Best of luck in your crisis. Thanks for all you do.
